Zion Williams

He is cat quick with a tight handle as he pushes the ball in transition at high speeds. He has a laundry list of dribble moves and he can beat pressure at will.  Williams can penetrate and kick or drive draw and quick to find the open man on a regular basis. He can also knock down the mid range pull when he has enough area to create space in order to get off the shot.

Rashaun Williams

Williams is a strong and physical big body wing player. He is a terrific multiple position defender and good rebounder on both ends of the floor. He sprints the wing in transition and is strong enough to finish through contact. Williams was great in the first session of the Sweet 16 for Georgia Go Hard.

Justin Forrest
